What I have here is a 1/144 Revell F-4 Phantom. Nothing special but I went out and got a set of VF-84 Jolly Rogers decals for it.

Almost there. I need to seal in the decals, canopy, missiles and some touch ups. Maybe a dull cote. I haven't decided.

Thanks for the kind words guys. The end is in sight. I know most of you guys make comments on the cleanliness of someones bench but I accidentally broke off one of the prop blades an d the only way to find it was to remove everything from the bench. Luckily for me the blade landed on the bench and not into the abyss that is my carpet.

The end result is a sparkling clean bench.



Here you can see that the prop has been repaired. It was the top outside blade on the inboard engine.



Here she is all decaled up. All that's left is turrets, canopies, landing gear, touch ups, seal cote/ dull cote.

Love these old aircraft, although you're not even thinking of it, the ground crew or general 1-144 figures are a pain to come across, I have 2 sets so far, cost an arm and a leg and oddly enough destine for my 1-144 hovercraft. Have you had same like problems searching for 1-144 figures ?
